Chapter 1: Overview of the Software
1.1 Software Architecture
1.1.1 What is TargetPro?
TargetPro is a software module included with Isis sonar from Triton Elics
International, Inc. TargetPro is also sold as a separate, standalone utility.
If you have the Isis Sonar software (also from Triton Elics International), you
can use TargetPro to take snapshots of selective areas of your data imagery
that may be of interest to you. When TargetPro takes a snapshot of an
image, TargetPro also logs the quantitative data (geocoding, contact
mensuration) associated with the original data imagery from which the
image came.
You can then save these small images as files independent of the original
data imagery. Furthermore, you can then recall the image in Isis without
having to play back the entire data imagery that contained the selected
image – or you can have Isis play back the image in the larger context of
your data imagery, in case youwant to see the area surrounding the
selected image.
Even if you don’t have Isis, you can still use TargetPro to view and modify a
wide variety of images, including images that were created by someone else
who did have Isis. Finally, you can run TargetPro from DelphMap as a utility
for viewing and modifying files known to TargetPro.
1.1.2 What File Types Can TargetPro Read?
TargetPro can open (read) these file types:
• Contact (TEI proprietary *.CON files)
• Target (TEI proprietary *.TGT files)
• ESC image (*.TIF or *.TIFF files, with Tag 270 information in them)
• Pulse Code Modulation image (*.PCM, which are compressed ESC
image files)
• Joint Photographic Experts Group (*.JPEG and *.JPG files)
• Compuserve Portable Network Graphic (*.PNG files)
